At lunch today I was asked what topics I cover for HME News. My main beat is, of course, specialty providers, including CPAP and sleep issues, hence my appearance at the respiratory spoke of the MED Group's Leadership conference here in Jacksonville.

Many providers built their businesses in the oxygen market. Now, with a few decades of performance history behind us, there are some things we know for certain. Providers are very resilient and tenacious.

To continue this "can-do" attitude, there are some practices providers need to embrace going forward.
